Rennovations

"Toto, i don't think we're in Kansas anymore..."

My house. Is no longer what it used to be.
Yes folks, it is true, my house is being rennovated!
Well, techinically speaking, it's not MY house as such, it's more my parent's...But i still live here!

Anyway, over the past....month or so, we have done the following:

.Brought up the old floor (which were these ghastly tiles in the most disgusting colour!) and put down a new one (now bamboo floating floorboards. Very nice...but easily scratched!)

.Knocked down two walls, and put up one.

.Purchaced over 20 tins of paint, half of which we decided not to use

.And have made 3 angry, and quite violent, phonecalls to different tradesmen

What have i learned from this experience?
Don't expect to sleep during rennovations,
Always wear shoes in the house (i now have a colony of bruises and cuts on my feet and legs, thanks to stubbing my toes on different sharp items around the house),
Paint is NOT reliable,
and to not trust Tradies.

Fortunatly, this is the last day of our rennovations until Febuary next year, so i am quite happy. Our house will be relatively presentable for Christmas this year, and should be all good for the new year as well!

But for now, i must go....for i have 5 more hours of pokémon to play before i hit the 20hr mark!

To infinity, and BEYOND!!
